Assessing the Effectiveness of a CBT-based App in Reducing Suicidal Ideation

GG-Suicide-Ideation (GGSI) is a mobile application, consisting of 55 stages. The content of each stage is a list of statements representing core themes, that were found in research and clinical practice to be related to suicide ideation. These are, for example, hopelessness, helplessness, thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, low self-esteem, tolerance of mental pain, and more. On each stage, several statements are presented on screen, one at a time. The statements express adaptive or maladaptive thinking in the specific core theme of that stage. In case the statement is positive and adaptive, the user needs to drag the statement downwards, towards him. In case the statement is negative and maladaptive, the user needs to drag the statement upwards, away from him. The user advances in stages - three stages per day.
